Chapter picks up where 34 ended, with Fumi have some seriously adorable images at what the date would be like with Ah-chan. The holding hand scene was the icing on the cake though. Oh wow.

Seriously loved the dialogue in this chapter, especially coming from Ah-chan as to why she wanted to make a move on Fumi. If you compare the Ah-chan of now to the one at the start of the series, they're like two completely different people. Shimura is seriously such a good writer.

The date should happen in the next chapter, and oh boy am i looking forward to it. I can only imagine just what Ah-chan has planned, because saying they should go on a date is only the first step. Can't wait.

Does anyone have an explanation what Akira's dream in ch37 meant? And what it had to do with ch36's

Spoiler:

kiss?

I was shocked when I read ch38, though :P I was like: WHUT is this Aoi Hana I am reading? I do worry about the two of them, though...I don't think it will work out between them at least not how things are right now...

Hinako and Orie are finally getting married (to each oher)~ I'm very happy for them, it's the first confirmed married yuri couple I've seen in manga so far (most of the time it's just about high school girls and crushes, lol). Anyway, Haruka still seems to be confused about it, so are her parents.

Kyoko and Ko seem to have reconciled, at least they shared a bittersweet moment together at the end of the chapter.

Ah-chan became the drama club (?) president, Fumi-chan ended up in a new class seperated from her three friends.

EDIT:

Chapter 42 is quite interesting and indicates that perhaps Ah-chan's perception of her relationship with Fumi is slowly changing. Though to what conclusion will she cone?

Is her relationship with Fumi just a passing fad?
Or is she starting to understand what love really means?

And while Ah-chan's still in the process of finding herself, Fumi falls in love with her even deeper.

You gotta love Shimura's storytelling. So calm and simple, but every line bears powerful emotions.

Oh, so we do have an Aoi Hana manga thread. Kinda wondered. Either way, I guess I'll have to settle with /u/ for much activity.

Akira's really trying so hard. She shouldn't push/rush herself. Even if she isn't sexually attracted to Fumi*, that she's willing to go this far with Fumi (and I don't mean just chapter 44) makes a compromise relationship reasonable, right? Still a couple. She shouldn't put so much pressure on herself to match what she thinks a girlfriend should be like and just enjoy being with Fumi.

*And that's an "if"--I'm not ruling that out as a present or future possibility, certainly not in a yuri manga; it's just that things are still really awkward in that category, and there's her reflection in this chapter, too...

I had been hoping they'd talk this out at some point, at least a little bit more, but not this chapter, and it looks like Akira will be asking that teacher for advice before anything else. That ought to put more light on how Akira feels.

Kind of sad that AH gets so little attention here. But I also have to admit that the two months wait between the chapters dampens the excitement considerably.

I have trouble understanding the purpose behind Yassan's backstory. She was obviously never meant to be a fleshed out character (her backstory in ch 46 didn't change much for me) so why waste so many pages on her? (these pages could've shown Ah-chan asking Hinako-sensei for advice instead, for instance)
Nevertheless, I'm kind of glad Pon-chan's play is going to be incorporated into the plot. It's such a nice parallel to Fumi's and Akira's story.
